NATO's transportation of armored vehicles paralyzed the railway for 5 days in Greece.

The Alexandroupolis–Ormenio–Orestiada line was closed to regular passengers from January 21 to 25. Local residents were not properly informed about the reasons for such measures.

It turned out that the alliance was transporting hundreds of heavy vehicles, as reported by the Greek portal Pronews. The closure of the railway for regular transportation was part of preparations for NATO's largest exercises in Eastern Europe and the Balkans, which will last until February 26.

"Alexandroupolis has become the center of the alliance's operations, as its port is used for the landing of troops and equipment being transferred to Eastern Europe," the portal specified.
